Hi,

I've been thinking about giving class scheduling, introduced in DU 4.0d,
a shot to try to control some interactive analysis processes on one of
my production servers. The desire is to limit the processor time given
to these interactive tasks, to retain the bulk of the CPU time for batched
analysis.

I've got a couple of questions:

1. Does it work? Are there any big nasty gotchas?

2. The classes are defined by a percentage of CPU time. On an SMP system,
   with say eight processors, is the max 100% or 800%?
   
Tom
